Oz Scale Reading

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a set of empty weighing scales, each accompanied by a specified weight in ounces. Students are instructed to draw the pointers on each scale to correspond with the weight given below them. The weights provided range from whole numbers to numbers with decimal points, such as 40 oz, 55 oz, and 17.5 oz. The exercise comprises nine scales in total, and the spaces for drawing are clearly marked on each scale.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students how to read and interpret weights in ounces and to accurately represent these weights on an analog scale. It helps students practice their understanding of the ounce as a unit of weight and improves their ability to estimate where a pointer would fall for a given weight. The activity also serves to familiarize students with decimal and fractional values in a practical context. Completing this worksheet will enhance students’ numerical literacy and their capacity to engage with measuring instruments.
